A high-paying job won't make my life happier
A peaceful, self-consistent philosophy of life
conflicts with treating income as the main axis of career choice
Choose that way and you will sacrifice and compromise
Happiness will yield
That doesn't mean
you should slash your salary and lower the bar
It means find work and a team that actually match
A bit less money — so what
If I can eat
and family can eat
then we can talk about eating well
The cost of staying alive is low
Whether I can make that big a mental shift
takes some time to sit with
From money as job one
to
peace, self-consistency, happiness as job one
Money enough to live is enough
No need to chase it on purpose
What you chase on purpose should be the ideal
